Yanhuang Chunqiu

Yanhuang Chunqiu (Chinese: 炎黄春秋; pinyin: Yánhuáng Chūnqiū), sometimes translated as China Through the Ages, is a liberal reformist monthly journal in the People's Republic of China,[1] created in 1991. Its foundation was largely due to the effort of General Xiao Ke.[2] The current publisher is Du Daozheng (杜导正). Yanhuang Chunqiu is the liberal counterpart of the conservative website Wuyouzhixiang (Utopia)[3] and the nationalist newspaper Global Times.

In July 2010, Yanhuang Chunqiu published a memoir by retired Politburo member Yang Rudai praising Zhao Ziyang. It marked a rare break of the long-standing taboo in China against mentioning the former leader since he was ousted after the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.[4]

In January 2013, Yanhuang Chunqiu‍‍ '​‍s website was temporarily shutdown by the Chinese government after it published an editorial urging the implementation of constitutional rights.[5]
